The 5 extra nibs for pen missing or where are they?

I just unpacked my new Wacom Intuois3 6 X 11, and it all seems to be there but the extra nibs for the pen? Unless they hide them someplace. Where are they suppposed to be?? i double checked all the packing materials, the only thing I didn't do was disassemble the pen. Waiting for that until I know what to do.
thanks if you can help me

thank you, but mine were NOT there. I did call Wacom customer service though, and they were extremely nice...said they would send me replacements as soon as they received a copy of my invoice info.

What a cool little tool this is!! I'm happy!thank you, but mine were NOT there. I did call Wacom customer service though, and they were extremely nice...said they would send me replacements as soon as they received a copy of my invoice info.

From what I read on Wacom's site, they are NOT compatible.
The Bamboo use a stylus that is different than the nib pens that the Intuos use. The stylus for the Bamboo is more like the stylus you can purchase for smart phones. The Intuos pens are pressure sensitive and have different nibs you can use for different effects and feel. You can go to their website and look for compatible pens and stylus' for your specific tablet.

Have you tried pulling the nib out (the end bit you draw with)? It could be that something is sticking the nib further inside the pen than it should, which is telling the pen you are applying pressure. As far as I know there is a little spring inside the pen that the nib pushes on when you touch the pen to the tablet. Perhaps the spring is permanently squished in.

They sell spares on the wacom website. Just click on the estore tab and you'll fine your tablet near the bottom. They have switches, nibs and grips for the pen - the switch currently costs €6.50. Pens cost €101.

Hey!
I found your post searching for solutions to the same problem. My pen was stuck in select mode since i shipped it to NZ with me, held snug in what i thought was a perfectly fitting box. So...an impact or prolonged pressing of the nib can cause this problem then!
Anyway, found this page with perfect instructions on how to take apart the pen (my pen is a little different (newer?) but comes apart just the same)

I took the pen apart and messed about with it (gently) for a while. After many unsuccessful messes, it finally started working again.
I think you just need to let the pressure sensor (at the inward end of the nib) pop back out again. You can probably do this by just pulling the nib out. Wacom say you can do that with pliers without taking the rest of the pen apart. I'm afraid i cannot say what i specifically did to get the pen to work, maybe it just needs time without anything in the way.
I'm sorry this was a lot of babble without a definite answer, but have a go.
Good luck!

Sounds like you're either holding the stylis to close to the nib and bumping the nib, or, there is dirt in behind the nib causing it to not be fully released when you lift it.
The nib does not need to make contact with the artboard, just be depressed when in range of it.
The nibs can be pulled out and replaced - cheap as to buy new nibs. I've never pulled one out and refitted the same used nib, with a 'good' pair of tweezers you can try, but you risk squeezing the nib out of shape - worth a go?

Hi , Mnemosyne , i'm the Guest who had the exact same of your problem , i contacted WACOM and there solution was as follow : " This problem is, although uncommon, usually easily fixable. The first and fastest solution is to simply press the eraser a few times to release it from binding on the side of the pen. If that does not work, pull the white plastic nib, and take a fingernail file (LIGHTLY) to the back end of the nib, making sure to remove any burs or flaring from the nib. I have seen this problem myself, albeit uncommon " , they also suggested if all fails then change the nib ( and thats exactly what i did , i changed the plastic nib with the felt nib - i like it better anyways thats why i didn't bother filing the plastic nib - and WALA my problem was solved and the pen is working like a charm , hope this helps .
